Thanks fellas, I made a test pour last night of the resin, still hasn't completely set, bit worrying after 24 hours but we'll see tomorrow, temperature hasn't been that high here today. Painted the base dark grey (gray?) and fiddled with the decals. I'm at the point at which I don't seem to care so much anymore about the looks of the whole ship. I just want to get it done but still more stuff to do. I even thought I may have to do this one all over again some time cause of all the mistakes and little issues I'm finding out now. For instance, placed the funnels in the wrong order, the missing part, the paint, the fact that the ship touches the bottom of the base, no lighting from the bridge windows, the list goes on and on it seems. The rigging, I know I should but man that's some work at this scale. But I'm sure it will be awesome when and if it's all done.
By the way, I still have a X-wing 1:48 laying around I started doing some cutaway stuff on ( I did the Titanic cause I wanted something quick and fast done, it's hilarious) Apparently I like cutting up models
And after that maybe a spinner from Blade Runner, (I promise I won't cut it up) cause of all the lights. Really liked the mood that film has, trying to think of something to do with that misty rainy futuristic look. That one will be a challenge for me as far as paint goes (the X-wing too actually). But no blinking lights! Just steady lights, many.
